@@HyperScepterOfficialand then for the Yoda cameo where we see how Grogu was born with Yaddle

@@seriousnesstv7902 lmao “Yes, oh yes!” “More, you must give!”

@Sheev Talks I love how the guideline says keep comments respectful but you will blatantly with no thought call people stupid. Also why would the people that are FOR Disney be arguing the sith cannot be around. It's the people that are against Disney star wars. It is a retcon because in the trailer it clearly shows jedi seeing a sit lord with a red lightsaber which they will fight. So unless they all died to not tell the tale. They would have had to of informed the council including master yoda cause this takes place only decades from phantom menace. So the line ki adi mundi saying they've been gone for a millennium is a lie. And mace windu. While yoda is also in the room and did not correct them by saying. "Actually there was one sith 50 or so years ago". People are not stupid. That is an issue. Yoda would have been around.

The reason why the Jedi fell during the prequels is because of complacency and then being shoved into a war they had 0 idea how to handle, at least until TCW changed that. The jedi didn't know what to do during the clone wars, they were doing things that actively conflicted with their code and also caused a major rift between those who were more vocal about the republics corruption to those who served the republic (count dooku was after all, the first jedi to leave the order because he didn't want to be a lapdog for a corrupt republic). Then there was the 1000 years of the sith slowly waxing the greater force into creating a shroud of darkness, resulting in the jedi losing their ability to confidently peer into the force at the end of episode 1.

Those games, especially 2, are the reasons I became a life long Star Wars fan when I was younger. They will adapt them, one day, and I dread that day.

@@ForsakenKrios 2 is my favorite as well even for as unfinished as it is. I would love to see an adaptation, either live action or animated but it most likely would be shit. I'm content just having the games as they are but I'm open to an adaptation of it if there's a good team behind it.

It's cheaper and more expedient

They are creatively bankrupt. The woke can't make, only corrupt. That's why they never managed to come up with a single new franchise and just reboot old stuff.

@@Jallorn Yup. But lacking in soul and creativity.

We have gotten new or more unique locations. Unfortunately they still end up looking bad if not worse than the ones you mentioned.

@@legorocketraccoon8297 Locations such as?

Andor is the best show no doubt, however, an old republic setting would be a lot better just because of the scale of the conflict with more jedi, more factions, more sith whereas the Galactic Civil War doesn't have the scale of the Clone Wars or any of the Old Republic Wars. But in the Disney Era of Star Wars we can only hope

@@sandman616 No doubt an Old Republic setting (or one several years after the trilogies) would have plenty of scale and nuance, as much as anyone could hope for! But I also argue that the Galactic Civil War definitely reaches that scale. I think people just don't realize it because they've been exposed to more post-2000s media and less on earlier stuff. I grew up with video games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Dark Forces, Shadows of the Empire. There are Rebel factory systems that transition from secret to open resistance, in the aftermath of Yavin IV. There are racial and clan-based civil wars on planets and systems, often with clans siding Rebel or Imperial. There are neutral systems that are pulled into the conflict by force. There are criminal organizations hoping to manipulate the conflict into gaining more profits and power. And each battle matters, because at the end of the day, Palpatine isn't able to pull a switch that turns off one of the factions.

Based. The way the Prequels handled the Clone Wars was so stupid.

I agree with your sentiment, but the clone wars itself is also prime game for storytelling IF DAVE FILONI AND TCW DIDN'T TURN IT INTO A SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON. People often forget just how much of a 1000 iq move the war was, it dragged down the jedi and the republic, and also united all republic detractors into a singular force. Palpatine would then place himself as the savior of the republic, be given emergency powers and then frame the jedi for rebelling, justifying his execution of contingency order 66. He then took the dissatisfied republic and turned it into the united empire, offering stability and order. Finally, he would simply cut off all funding of the seperatists and immediately told all operations and factories to shut down. He destroyed democracy, the jedi and any chance at independence in 1 fell swoop. The CWMMP really displays the inherent tragedy of the war, with the jedi becoming conflicted in their roles, and the conflict between the public and the republic,

@@sirpepeofhousekek6741how

The Jedi were the one's that created the Sith in the first place. It was just Jedi that went rouge because they asked too many questions, & The High Council told them to shut-up! The Sith wanted to help people at first & using the Dark Side didn't mean you were evil right away! Look at Darth Revan. He was a Jedi that tried to get to The Jedi High Council to help out in The Mandalorians Wars, but the planets in need weren't part of the Republic so they didn't want to help. He turned to the Dark Side & became a Sith Lord & basically took half the Jedi with him to help. He was strong enough to resist the Dark Side & saved everyone, but was ultimately betrayed by his friend Alek (aka Darth Malek)

...Revan was evil. You've made up your own bizarre head canon. He didn't magically resist the dark side. He was lost to it.

It could still work if the Sith in Acolyte gets found out against their will since then technically the Sith haven't reveled themselves willingly like I think Maul's line more implied.

@Oppen1945 no it doesn't. Firstly the Rule of 2 Sith are the only Sith around. Secondly, the Jedi also say the Sith have been extinct for 1000 years and haven't returned. It's more than just Mauls line

@@yagamifire7861Actually, he gave up being a Sith Lord after Mandalorian Wars ended, but Malek didn't. The Sith Lord (popular belief is that it was Vitiate) that trained him wanted them to keep fighting & kill the Jedi. When he refused (in a Luke Skywalker way) they captured & tortured him. Revan was made Immortal by force & 300 years later in a new body they tried to control him, but he resisted the Dark Side still. Malek was also Immortal & was planning on using the Mass Shadow Generator Revan first built to try to end the Mandalorian Wars, because it was just a big planet destroying bomb he never planned on using (kinda like a Nuclear Threat type thing). He killed Malek, destroyed the MSG & later just died from old age...

Thing is, I'm not interested in that either. But I'll at least watch Romulus for sure. I have zero intent on ever seeing the Acolyte. Zero.

I agree with this approach. Before Grogu, we only had Yoda, Yaddle, and Vandar from Kotor 1.

It’s part of the High Republic, right?

@@flopmotions338it is indeed

@@flopmotions338Execute Order 420! lololololo

@@schneiderman9822is it? I know they’re filming a HR series too but maybe I’m getting it mixed up

This takes place a few centuries befor the films, kotor a few millenia. I remember when Sith had glowing eyes, and seemed intimidating and awe inspiring. Palpatine looked like a dark wizard, Vader like a dark samurai and Maul like a literal devil with rotten teeth, and Dooku was the evil vampire count. This is not Old Republic, this is High Republic. So it will sound like something made by bored hippies. It will be horrible. Out of the Disney villains, only Baylan and the general looked intimidating, and the first is gone, the second became a joke. Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment.

There’s always at least one comment who completely misunderstands everything I said

@SheevTalks Well not to mention. It just can't work. It'd have to be a full on decimation of anyone with the slightest slider of knowledge. Even if this sith did kill them all. You're telling me she just went back into the shadows? Without a trace? No one investigated their missing jedi. The numerous that went there? No one investigated them missing. Found the bodies, any clues. Found lightsaber wounds like in revenge of the sith and said. "This must have been a sith lord". And just didn't investigate further? So even that doesn't fix it. Either way doing this makes the jedi really stupid. Which they were in the prequels and there's issues with that. The trailer has them fighting a sith. Its shown. They aren't hiding sheev. There is no way they can try to squeeze this in without retconning the prequels or making the jedi look like idiots. Don't give me that the dark side clouded their minds so they couldn't see. There's so much evidence. This doesn't work no matter what they do. And it's one of the reasons this trailer is getting ratioed to oblivion. Be more mindful of what you're saying. Those same people that think like that and have precedence are the same people that follow you and superchat you respectfully. It would behoove of you to reciprocate that. Think before you speak. I guess nerdrotic and AZ and mauler are also "stupid".

Telling me to think before I speak is ironic given you’ve now made 2 VERY long comments arguing against a point I didn’t actually make, because you failed to listen to what I was actually saying

Sheev would rip him apart, and I'd love to see it.

@@nathanbeverley247 I would to but I love starwars theory and sheev so idk but it would be entertaining nonetheless

Yeah very odd tbh

I can't stand that from most Andor fans. They think you're the dumbest person in the world if you don't like that series. Hey, guys. Maybe it's because other people have their own tastes and viewpoints, and talking down to them isn't gonna want them to give your favorite show a chance. By the way, I gave it a chance and I didn't like it. You don't agree, that's fine, but don't think I'm inherently stupid for not liking it. Peace.

@@tyrannozilla I didn’t say that bro lol. And I think there are reasons to criticize Hello Greedo, I just didn’t expect such a harsh reaction from Sheev.

I was referring to Hello Greedo's comments about questioning people who didn't like Andor. Sorry for the confusion. You're good.@@dqarqeer8603

HelloGreedo is toxic positive when it comes to the sequels

I don't call him a shill, but I do outright hate Disney Star Wars.

How do you feel about the Clone Wars cartoon (under George's direction) contradicting parts of the Prequels, specifically the "corporate neutrality" invented for Trade Federation, Banking Clan, and Techno Union?

@BaronGrackle George's involvement in that show isn't as solid as some would believe. He cleared things. oversaw episodes. But it's Dave Filonis show. That's what it's always been. And yes it breaks so much Canon lore that was already established and I believe Dave Filoni is not good for the franchise. He makes fake starwars too.

@@TheBastardsNetwork I've seen that "corporate neutrality" was George's idea. Animators had already put things like Trade Federation ships in an episode, but George made them reanimate them because suddenly he didn't want the Trade Federation to be Separatists yet.

And don’t get me twisted even stuff covering characters outside of the blood relation to the skywalkers is ok by me, plagueis is fine because it ties into the groin work laid to create darth Vader and the empire.

yeah that is a red flag. but then again some of the actors in Andor had poltical scamtivist takes, but it turned out to be effectively absent from the show. I'll only give it a chance if someone i trust likes it, like i did with andor, as a red flag is a red flag, but it doesn't 100% prove anything at this point.

???

Andor was excellent, and if Acolyte can restrain itself to only being 10 times as memberries-y as Andor was I will be a very happy camper indeed.

One thing I have noticed (and do not like) with Andor, and all of the other Disney Star Wars shows and movies, is that the characters do not talk like Star Wars characters. According to some interviews from George Lucas and other reports, he took inspiration from classical acting from the Golden Age of Hollywood (1930s and 1940s). Look at films like Casablanca or Gone With The Wind (or any of the Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers film serials), then watch any of Lucas' original six films and I believe you will notice the similarities. I always thought that was a genius idea to take classical acting and put it in another galaxy. However, once Disney took over and Lucas left, Star Wars no longer feels like "a galaxy far, far away" anymore. The characters talk more like people on Earth with current vernacular and swear words (the word "shit" used in Andor, for instance). Current vernacular works in shows like the Expanse because it takes place in our galaxy and most of the people come from Earth. But it doesn't work when you put it in Star Wars. Now before you say anything, I know that Han Solo said the word "Hell" in A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. The difference between that and what Disney is doing is that Star Wars was still finding its footing in 1977 and 1980. By the time you get to Return of The Jedi in 1983 and the prequels in 1999 up to 2005, the characters stopped saying that word. Now it's commonplace for them to not say "Hell" because they are from a different galaxy, so they would not know any of our religions, thus not use "Hell" as a swear word. Another reason that Andor doesn't feel like Star Wars to me (and it's not just because it has no lightsabers or pew, pew, pew) is that it felt more like they were trying to go for a feeling similar to Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica or that of the Expanse. The problem is that that type of science fiction doesn't fit with Star Wars. Star Wars is supposed to have the feeling of a grand space opera similar in style to the classical acting seen in 1930s-1940s Hollywood, even when you focus on a non-force sensitive character. Now there have been cases in the original Expanded Universe where some stories didn't focus on Jedi. For example, I read one and a half of the X-wing novels a few years ago and while they focused more on non-force sensitive pilots and felt more like a spy espionage type story, they still felt like I was reading something from a galaxy far, far away.@@idanmuze

You make a good point, but you've also confirmed my take that Andor feels a lot like A New Hope.

Fun fact, there is in fact Hell in Corellian religion. It was created the justify Han’s use of the word. He says it in (chronologically) later novels as well.

...what? The Sith are explicitly bad guys. Using the dark side is bad. Full stop. It's the very nature of it. It's spiritual sewage

Also the Jedi don't "steal babies" Try actually reading any of the material.

Seems like you’re the one who doesn’t know how the Jedi and Sith work brudda. I really like you using the Revan book as your source. A highly divisive book generally held in very low esteem by fans (especially Kotor fans). I also really hate when Jedi get red by going rouge!

@@joeymobb8438Yeah I mean Exar Kun was one of the most powerful Sith Lords ever & he use to be a Jedi. He never made a new lightsaber & actually used Force Alchemy to make it stronger. It was a double sided blue lightsaber.

@@yagamifire7861Yeah they kinda do, because they don't need the permission of the parents or anyone on the children they take. And they take them so young that they can be sure they won't hold any ties to their families. They also keep any information about their families a secret from them.
